A Spear With Two Sides: The Unique Responsibility of Recruiters w/Michael Clegg Talent Hunters
-
- Careers
In most industries, you either occupy the supply side or the demand side of the equation. Recruiters don’t.
We’re the tip of the spear on two sides and equally responsible to the hiring authorities and the talent. Fail to keep both sides sharp and focus too heavily on one side? We won’t be able to efficiently and predictably connect talented individuals to great organizations.
Doing this job well is about balancing this bilateral responsibility, seeing beyond one placement, and investing in bringing value to both the clients and the candidates.
How do we give both sides equal attention, consistency and investment? Why is the phone still so important in this business? How do you make a plan for success?
In this episode, we’re joined by high performance leadership coach, professional speaker, high school football coach and CEO of Q Works Group, Michael Clegg. He shares what recruiters have to do to have lasting success in this business.
